Reduction in TPR coincides with rise in COVID-19 testing in Mysuru

Commissioner Bagadi Gautham claimed that daily testing had crossed 10,000 in Mysuru district The reduction in Test Positivity Rate (TPR) in Mysuru, which helped the district become eligible for certain relaxations in lockdown restrictions from June 26, appears to have come about through a decrease in the number of daily COVID-19 infections and a substantial increase in testing.

However, Mysuru district finally became eligible for unlocking, albeit partially, on June 25 when its weekly moving average TPR was 7.42% as per the Karnataka State COVID-19 War Room report of June 25.
